Local Authority Searches
A local authority search informs you of any legal restrictions or future development proposals that affect a particular property or piece of land. The search will let you know about any charges or responsibilities you will be taking on when you exchange contracts.
As of 4 July 2016, the 'CON29R' and 'CON29O' search forms include new questions relating to flood risk and drainage matters.
This page provides a response or where to direct an enquiry to seek a response. Please see Local Land Charges for information on searches or other search questions.
